in accordance herewith, together with all exhibits, schedules, annexes and other
attachments hereto, shall be referred to as the "Agreement") entered into as of
April 18, 2002 between DUSA PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a New Jersey corporation with

WHEREAS, the Seller is desirous of selling certain equipment rental contracts
and equipment therewith from time to time to Buyer, denominated as the Rental
Agreement, together with all exhibits, schedules, annexes and other attachments
thereto, (the "Rental Agreements" in substantially the form as set forth in

to supply and maintain medical equipment and related products more particularly

stated term in accordance with each Rental Agreement; and

WHEREAS, from time to time Seller will submit to Buyer, for credit approval,
either (i) credit applications of applicants prepared to enter into Rental
Agreements or (ii) credit applications of Renters who have entered into Rental

and conditions contained in this Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows:

"B"). However, neither the payments due under the Rental Agreements nor the
Equipment described therein, and notwithstanding any language contained herein

Agreements, including, without limitation, those of maintenance, repair,
replacement, upgrade or warranty.

(b) The Purchase Price for each Rental Agreement and the Equipment subject

                               TERM AND CONDITIONS

 THIS IS A NONCANCELLABLE/NONREVOCABLE LEASE. THIS LEASE CANNOT BE CANCELLED OR
                TERMINATED EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN.

1.   RENTAL AGREEMENT: You agree to rent from us the personal property,
     described in Section 1 "Describe Equipment" on the first page of this
     Rental Agreement and as modified by supplements to this Rental Agreement
     from time to time signed by you and us (such property and any upgrades,
     replacements, repairs, and additions referred to as the "Equipment'), for
     business purposes only. You agree to all the terms and conditions contained
     in this Rental Agreement and any supplement, which together are a complete
     statement of our Rental Agreement regarding the Equipment ("Rental
     Agreement") and supersedes any purchase order or outstanding invoice you
     may have with us or the supplier. This Rental Agreement may be modified
     only by written agreement and not by course of performance. This Rental
     Agreement becomes valid upon execution by us and will begin on the date the
     Equipment is accepted by the Lessee for use, or ten (10) days after the
     Equipment is installed by us whichever is first, (the "Rental Commencement
     Date") and will continue from the first day of the following month for the
     number of consecutive months shown ("Initial Term"). The Initial Term will
     be extended month-to-month unless you send us written notice that you do
     want it renewed at least 120 days before the end of the Initial Term or of
     any extension term. If any provision of this Rental Agreement is declared
     unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the other provisions will remain in full
     force and effect in that jurisdiction and all others. The monthly payment
     for the month of rent commencement ("Interim Rent") will be prorated for
     the period from the Rental Commencement Date to the last day of the month
     in which the rent commenced.
